Yankee Advent Calendars 2014

Its getting closer and closer to December 1^st and we all know what that means, it means time to crack open the advent calendars!

For those of you that aren’t chocoholics and aren’t interested in the beauty calendars, why not take a look at Yankee Candle’s Offerings?

This year Yankee Candle have two amazing calendars to choose from, Christmas Past (£29) and Christmas Present (£25).

Christmas Past is this beautiful 3D calendar, depicting a wintery, Christmassy house!

Behind each door you’ll find a gorgeous Yankee Candle tealight in one of 7 traditional scents and behind window 24 you’ll be treated to a votive candle!

The candles in the Christmas Past Calendar are;

Candy Cane Lane
Christmas Garland
Snowflake Cookie
Sugared Apple

Christmas Memories
Spiced Orange

 

Christmas Present is a similar looking calendar to their 2013 offering and features 6 of their newer fragrances;

 Icicles
Angel's Wings
Snowflake Cookie
Cranberry Ice
Christmas Cookie
Christmas Garland

Both calendars are available now and offer a lovely alternative to the traditional calendars out there.

Yankee Candle Christmas Garland

You know it’s getting close to Christmas when Yankee Candle release their Crimbo fragrances!

Now, while I’m usually all about their fruity, sweet and edible fragrances, I decided this year It was time to try something a little different and see what else Yankee Candle had to offer, so allow me to present to you, Christmas Garland.

This festive fragrance welcomes the aroma of freshly cut pine and zesty cranberries into your home.

The dark green shade of candle and the little photo on the front of the jar evokes memories of beautiful Christmas wreathes and indeed, so does the fragrance.

It is a woody, authentically pine smelling fragrance with gorgeously sweet notes of cranberry.

It reminds me of the smell you get when you first bring your Christmas tree into the house.

 I love it and with this medium candle (£16.99) offering 65 to 90 hours of fragrance, you can enjoy this Christmassey scent all through the festive period.
